Andre Agassi 1995 Nike Guerilla Tennis 

No kidding. ESPN should be ashamed. I hope Doug Alder wins his lawsuit against ESPN. It was ESPN that turned it into a racist comment. Jack Waynes!!

I think there is plenty of evidence out there to ensure that Adler wins this suit. Without much time and effort researching this, ESPN could have gotten to the bottom of it all without ever firing him.

I wouldn't want to work for ESPN. They don't stand up for their employees.

@ Chris55433 When did they offer you a job?

@ zukamaster IKR, classic example of lefty, PC lunacy

The teal/black LWPs, to this day, are still my favorite Nike tennis sneakers. They were perfect.

@@TheMrFett they were ALMOST perfect. The upper wore way too fast as it was a durabuck material. I wore my pair my senior year on my HS tennis team. Bought a 2nd pair years later on eBay and those I still wear. I'd freak if they actually did a retro.

Agassi was half assing it for most of his early career. The moment he started focusing on training he became unstoppable.

It's funny to come across this video after reading Spike Jonze's wiki and hearing people talk about Fed and Raf's prime...When they continued to dominate tennis until present time along with Joker.

therealthreadkilla or because there is a history of blacks being labeled as primates and he used a curious choice when referring to Venus who has been very low key her entire career.

singingchef23 He said " going for the guerrilla effect" he never said Venus is a gorrilla

"We don't actually know what was in his heart" Sure we do, I heard him interviewed and he's used the term many times in the past.......JUST LOOK AT THE ABOVE VIDEO......it's the whole point of the topic "Guerrilla Tennis" was a freaking ad campaign damn it. BUT, the reality is some people have the "privilege" of having their entire career destroyed because somebody had their feelings hurt .......NOT THAT THE PERSON DID ANYTHING WRONG.....but because some precious little snow flake sees a racist under every rock. This insanity must stop, it's destroying the country. edit: "I've never in my time on earth been called racist or homophobic, sexist, or any other label" How about stupid?

therealthreadkilla and 1 final point, the man got himself fired, just imagine with all those amazing words in the English language at his disposal he could have simply said else. Whether he meant Gorilla or Guerilla, a smarter person would have greater depth on knowledge and linguistics to simply avoid insertion of one's foot in mouth. You know, like when your at home with your wife and you pause before you say exactly what's on your mind because you have the common sense to not tip the apple cart in the event she does not take things as intended. Effective communication is one hell of a skill and I can think of countless broadcasters and announcers who have never stumbled upon the issue. so your posing this as if this is a majority when in fact logically it's not, it happened once by one person.

You seem to be doubling down on "maybe he really wanted to call her n***er" live on TV and ruin his entire life in the process and I think that's stupid. I know it's hard for some snowflakes to realize this but not everyone that is white is racist........and i can guarantee you with out a shadow of a doubt he didn't want to call her that AND he didn't want to lose his job because some one like you thinks otherwise. HE DIDN'T get himself fired, some triggered moron who's looking to cash in did. And i'll leave you with a quote from a man much smarter than most of us. “There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs - partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.” ― Booker T. Washington
